text entry widget question

[Eric Moore <moore chem cmu edu>]

I'm playing around with gtk, and noticed something that doesn't make
sense to me.  gtk_entry_set_text redraws the text when it's set.
gtk_entry_append_text and gtk_entry_prepend_text don't.

Is there a reason for this?

Also, when I upgraded from gtk+-971109 to gtk+-0.99.0 my code stopped
working (specifically, my labels aren't getting the strings drawn in
them) is there some interface change I missed due to the
internationalization stuff?

(if there isn't a reason for the not updating..  here's a patch :)
